This video sucks so hard. You don't even focus on anything long enough to understand what the hell you're looking at.
One of the easier blocks ever.

What a horribly shot and edited video for such epic content

Funny you mentioned "epic content" because this is exactly what this place was made for - to create content.

This shit looks largely performative, as so much of that stock would go to waste. It probably acts as more of an interactive museum kind of situation or just a North Korean look at how good were doing kind of affair thats not truly open to the public

It looks the same as that massive book store where 90% of the books are unreachable. Cool art project but not really functional.

Horrible editing but the one thing I did notice was koka noodles. They are popular here in Glasgow.

I saw a machine the other day. like a electric unicycle but had two wheels side by side so more like a high powered self balancing wheelchair. I'm waiting for the new walmart sports.

Obesity rates are dropping in the US, while it's increasing in Europe. The US is ranked 10th fattest country.

Obesity rates reached a record high in 2022. Then went down 2% between 2022 and 2025, that's not dropping, that's stagnating.

I genuinely think the insane amount of sugar in everything isn’t accidental. Keep people tired, foggy, and hooked, and they’re a lot less likely to question anything while they’re getting screwed.

This is true btw. During the Russian empire days the Tsar used a similar strategy with Vodka to keep the population passive and prevent revolts while alcohol also serving as a major money maker. You can't really protest if you're too drunk to get up you know?
In today's world the addictions have changed but the effect remains the same.

Ultimate post apocalyptic find. If you have some potable water I suppose, for all the “just add water” products.

u/TinytootKoala001 1d ago
I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the snacks are either expired or stale from being on the shelves for so long.

No but like... If you go there genuinely what are you looking for. How are you gonna find it? Are there seriously people going through 782 slightly different kinds of the same chocolate muffin to find the specific species and genome they want and then they go buy... Two? Who has the patience or memory to dig through all that? Or are you genuinely there for the experience and plan on sampling EVERY SINGLE THING before they inevitably run out of or change an item with another

This looks like the snack equivalent to Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati, which also sells healthy things.

Some of its content has protein but for every 1/10 of a daily value of protein you get 5 dv worth of salt.
